I agree. If you look at my tutorial, you may have noted that I start with
the usability of the command. It would make sense to have "sbb" command do:
sbb {from} to {destination}
Otherwise you will run into a problem when one of the stations has space in
its name. E.g.
sbb new york new jersey
Also, as for using defaults when inputs are not supplied, you will have to
do something like
get value of keyword
if empty then assign the default
I can give you the code, but then there's no learning for you. If you want
you can check the final version of the yell command described in the
tutorial here:
http://code.google.com/p/ubiquity-commands/source/browse/trunk/scripts/ubiquity-basic-search.js
look for lines numbered 48-97. Lines 83-86 have the code I am talking about.
